Camp NANOWRIMO July…
I have just joined up again for this month’s challenge for my new novel Sarah Johns, which I have already written 37,000 words. I thought it would be excellent to join other writers in writing every day and also just giving support and gaining support from other supportive writers.

New novel – Sarah Johns…
Hey everyone,
During these lock down times and times of quarantine I have been trying to make the most of more time to write. I feel this is a unique time where I can get the whole first draft of my next novel written. This novel is quite different from the last novel I wrote which required research about absolutely everything. My new novel is in first person, I am enjoying writing with first person as I haven’t done this for years now. This story is also about someone who is Australian and also someone who is a journalist – therefore it is easier for me to write this book. This character comes from Sydney, which is where I am from. Of course this is her story, not mine, but it is a lot easier to write this book in many ways. Though no doubt as I progress there will be challenges – there always is. Each book has its own particular hurdles, however, I am enjoying this process and I have now written 36,460 words of this next book.
I always knew Where the Sun Rises (WTSR) might be the hardest book I attempted to write, due to the fact that I had to research everything, including; culture, on the ground war facts, conditions in Syria, how it felt to be there as well as focalising from another cultural point of view, and from two points of view. It was an ambitious feat

Poem about my bro…
Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of my brother Steve’s death and I usually spend it thinking about him, listening to music, getting away on my own, being near the beach or somewhere peaceful. That’s what I do. I often do writing therapy and sometimes I write poetry. So here is yesterday’s poem. My brother died of alcoholism and I tried to help him for many years, and sought to help him get help. I was there with him when he died. I believe he is in a better place. I believe he is with God. I hope you like my poem.
